Trevor Blake: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (The Mormons)
There are feminist housewife Mormons, gay Mormons, kinky Mormons, celibate Mormons… Republican Mormons, Democratic Mormons, socialist Mormons, Libertarian Mormons… police Mormons and murdering Mormons…. orthodox Mormons and reformed Mormons and heretical Mormons… Mormons all over the map, so much so that most generalizations about their actions and character would likely fail. But it can be said that Mormon parents do place a premium on having children.
A study in Utah concluded that the more children a couple had, the worse their health became and the sooner they died. Parents in Utah have a fertilitate rate of 2.6, compared to 2 for the rest of the USA. Inbreeding among Mormons has caused the highest concentration of fumarase deficiency (and its resulting severe mental retardation) in the world.
Learn more about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints than most LDS members know. Read The Book of Mormon and The Skeptics Annotated Book of Mormon. Although unwilling to turn their critical eye upon themselves, the Utah Lighthouse Ministry offers well-documented accounts of Mormonism. And wrap it all up by viewing (legally, of course, never via a pirate copy) episode 712 of South Park, titled All About The Mormons.
